Christians Harassed in Kuwait

Restrictions from the government can mostly be explained by dictatorial paranoia as the country’s ruler does not want any organized group to threaten his rule. Under the guise of implementing the laws of blasphemy, apostasy and proselytizing, government officials harass and abuse Christians. In terms of the general population, a significant number of Kuwaitis are tolerant toward non-Muslim residents; however, there is a group of radical Muslims that do not want to see Christians in the country.
